5. The key values needed for the remaining steps are [repositoryid] and baseurl.

6. Save the output from "bootstrap.sh" invocation into a distinct, temporary file.

HP Note

In this file, you should modify the variables "$releasever" and

"$basearch" to match the desired combination of the ultimate

targets. This is especially true for any combinations that are

different than the system being used to generate the file

output.

Download software product combination

7. First verify a specific version of the software product that exists in the repository. Also substitute

the ProLiant Support pack product release designation for the “current” path element. For

example, a modified baseurl might be

baseurl=http://downloads.linux.hp.com/SDR/downloads/ProLiantSupportPack/Red

Hat/5.3Server/x86_64/8.31

With a web browser and this modified URL, view the listing of the available packages destined

for your new channel.

8. On the Red Hat Network Satellite platform, find or create a location with enough disk space to

download the appropriate HP software product(s) from the HP Software Delivery Repository.

cd <SomeFileSystemPath>

9. If the command reposync is available, utilize the previously generated and modified file (from

"bootstrap.sh") to download the software product deliverables using the command:

reposync --config=<PathToBootstrapFile> --repoid=<repositoryid>

HP Note

On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 platforms, the reposync utility can

be found in the yum-utils package.

This utility creates a directory, named <repositoryid> (eg. HP-

ProLiantSupportPack) in the current directory.

Alternatively, the download can also be accomplished utilizing the

"rsync" command coupled with the path of “baseurl”.
